Holly Nook was perfect for our adult family stay, with ages between 26 and 66, plus a dog. Beds were comfortable and the linens excellent quality. Ample parking for 3 cars and a secure garden for the dog. However, it's the location that really made our stay. We barely used the cars, a very short walk to the lake ferry and bus stop with frequent services, or a 15 minute walk up into the centre of Ambleside with its shops and restaurants. We were lucky to have great weather and sitting on the private jetty in the late afternoon watching the sun set over the lake was a unique treat.
